Query to Alternate Row Colors in Download Table

[ToniScraparoni]

I'd like to change my downloads table in 1.3.8a to display alternating row colors. I've been working with tpl_modules_downloads to try and accomplish that, but I'm stuck at the proper query for <tr class>. I found some threads asking the same thing about the ProductListing table, but I couldn't seem to successfully adapt the code to the downloads table.

Thanks a bunch for your help! :)

As far as the product listing table goes the effect is created by css. The classes for alternate rows are included in the code so it is just a matter of writing two css rules.

The classes are :

.productListing-odd
.productListing-even

Unfortunately, as far as tpl_modules_downloads goes there are not corresponding classes built into the existing code. With a bit of PHP you could easily add an incremented variable to the 'while' and use that to add a class to the <tr> based on whether the incremented variable was odd or even. Then stlye those new classes in the css.

If that seems a bit confusing email me (click on my name to the left) and I'll get into it with you.

I can't test this at the moment but what I am talking about is something like the edits is the following code:

<!-- list of products -->

<?php

    $AAA=0//NICCOL
    while (!$downloads->EOF) {
    $AAA++;//NICCOL
    $AAF= floor($AAA/2);//NICCOL
    if ($AAF=($AAA/2){$row_class="download-even";}//NICCOL
    else{$row_class="download-odd";}//NICCOL

// MySQL 3.22 does not have INTERVAL
      list($dt_year, $dt_month, $dt_day) = explode('-', $downloads->fields['date_purchased_day']);
      $download_timestamp = mktime(23, 59, 59, $dt_month, $dt_day + $downloads->fields['download_maxdays'], $dt_year);
      $download_expiry = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $download_timestamp);

      $is_downloadable = ( (file_exists(DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD . $downloads->fields['orders_products_filename']) && (($downloads->fields['download_count'] > 0 && $download_timestamp > time()) || $downloads->fields['download_maxdays'] == 0)) ) ? true : false;
      $zv_filesize = filesize (DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD . $downloads->fields['orders_products_filename']);
      if ($zv_filesize >= 1024) {
        $zv_filesize = number_format($zv_filesize/1024/1024,2);
        $zv_filesize_units = TEXT_FILESIZE_MEGS;
      } else {
        $zv_filesize = number_format($zv_filesize);
        $zv_filesize_units = TEXT_FILESIZE_BYTES;
      }
?>
          <tr class="tableRow<?php echo ' '.$row_class; ?>">
<!-- left box -->

If you compare it to your existing file you should see which bits to add. That should create two new classes in the code. The classes will be:

.download-even
.download-odd

But as I say I am not in a position to test this so it may have lots of typos in it. But the theory should work. Got to sleep now :-)

Hi, Nik!

Thanks for trying to help me. It doesn't work. LOL! I think there might be a parentheses missing, but it doesn't matter where I insert it ... adding this code widens the table so it covers the entire right column, with no changes to row background color. I had been trying to tie in with the classes rowOdd and rowEven, already in the stylesheet.

Thanks a bunch! Hope you're having sweet Zen dreams and the fix will come to you by [your] morning. ;)

Sorry about that. I guess that is what comes of writing code late at night and not being ale to test it :-) I'll look at it later today when I will be able to test it. A URL would help.
